Video transcript
- During my senior year in high school, I realized that being
undocumented limited me from gaining financial aid from FAFSA. So I looked for outside scholarships and I think I applied to about 50 or 60, and I got, I think, 12. So that has helped me,
has a gone a long way, 'cause a lot of them are renewable and they pretty much are helping me fund my college experience. And right now, putting together
all my scholarship aid, I'm able to fund my whole
four years of college.
